Top 10 be(a)st looking units!

[Rad]

Hello everyone. I'd like to name my top 10 favorite units, appearance wise. I invite you to do the same. I will be making a list using 2.01 only. The units are not in order of preference, although I favor some more than others. I would like to say thank you to the people involved in creating them.

1. Illyrian peltasts... and the rest of the Illyrian regionals (sameish model, apart from the cavalry).
2. Dacian light phalanx - only thing that bugs me is that thing they have for a spearhead lol
3. Sacred band hoplite
4. Liby-Phoenicians
5. Celtiberian medium swordsmen/spearmen (also, I believe the cavalry shares the skin)
6. Germanic light cavalry for some reason... although I don't like the Sweboz models in general.
7. Peltastai Makedons
8. British retainers
9. Cataprachts... not a fan of super heavy, super expensive cavalry, but they are beautiful
10. Carthaginian Elite Cavalry


list may be edited

Hard choice (and thats with ~270 units still not in game ....).

In no particular order (and a list that's likely to change as soon as I play another faction, playing Sab'Yn again at the moment ):

1. Sab'Yn bodyguards
2. East Coast levies
3. Maure Infantry
4. Iberian medium cavalry
5. Ethiopian Archers
6. Carthaginian Citizen Cavalry
7. Hayasdan Bodyguards
8. Babylonian Heavy Spearmen

I know how you feel
My list changes day to day, version to version. There are some regulars, though.

1. Boii retainers (the best swordmen in the game I think)
2. Heterio Cavalry
3. Sacred band hoplite and the Hypaspistai (they are just hard to break)
4. Cataprachts (just wonderfull)
5. Ethiopian Archers (have shields, and are also good in melee)
6. Sarmatian Noble cavalry ( can fire arrows and can charge)
7. Peltastai Makedons (can trow a are very strong)
8. Gaulic Soldori (heavy swordsmen/spearmen)
9. Indian Longbow (long range and good attack)
10. Lusotani Ambush Skirmischers (the one that can hide everywhere)

Boii retainers would have made my list if someone didn't mess them up xD
If you look closely, you'll notice that their spear is actually a javelin. I think the models were made to represent a javelin+sword unit, but it ended up being a spear+sword unit.

Indeed. They have trowing spears, and that would have made it a beter unit. These spear+sword units are a bit of a mess. The last moment of there charge they stop and switch to spears. Completely breaking there own charge bonus. Some for Gaulic Nobels and Hypaspistai (switch sword when fighting cavalry)
